About This Whiskey

Teerenpeli Distiller’s Choice AURA is a premium Finnish whisky that exemplifies the distinct flavors and craft of Teerenpeli Distillery. AURA is a limited-edition release that represents the distillery's commitment to quality and innovation. The name "AURA" is inspired by the natural beauty of Finland, particularly the northern lights (Aurora Borealis), and aims to encapsulate the spirit of the Finnish landscape in each bottle.

Tasting Notes

NOSE: On the nose, Teerenpeli AURA opens with an inviting sweetness of vanilla and honey, combined with fresh fruit notes of apples and pears. There’s a slight floral character as well, with hints of heather and a delicate touch of spice. The whisky's maturation adds depth, with subtle oak and toasted nut aromas complementing the fruitiness, suggesting a well-aged and refined spirit. As it sits in the glass, further layers of warm caramel, malt, and a gentle trace of oak spice emerge, promising a rich drinking experience.

TASTE: The palate is smooth, with a velvety mouthfeel that immediately envelops the senses. Teerenpeli AURA reveals a gentle sweetness, combining creamy vanilla with a layer of ripe orchard fruits, such as apples and pears, followed by light citrus zest. The maltiness comes through with a biscuit-like character that is both comforting and balanced by a touch of spice, reminiscent of cinnamon and nutmeg. The oak influence adds a warming, slightly dry character, without overpowering the fruitiness. The balance between sweetness and spice is expertly handled, with no single element dominating the flavor profile.

FINISH: The finish is clean, long, and pleasantly warming. As the whisky fades, the flavors of sweet fruit, subtle oak, and a delicate spice linger on the palate, creating a lasting impression. A touch of malt and honey sweetness remains, with just a hint of dryness, providing a satisfying and well-rounded finish that invites another sip.
